| Disability Insurance |
|
| Disability insurance is designed to provide income to a covered employee in the event that the employee is unable to work because of illness or injury. Some states sponsor disability insurance programs; however, state programs typically provide benefits that represent only a fraction of a worker's salary. In addition, the period during which disability benefits can be received is limited, after which a disabled employee will have to rely on an employer-sponsored disability program or an individual disability insurance policy.

| Unemployment Benefits - Protest -- Disqualification |
|
| The most frequent reasons for protest are those involving a protest against the payment of unemployment benefits chargeable against the employer because the claimant either voluntarily quit his employment or he was discharged for misconduct connected with his work. In regard to these bases of protests, the employer is in a unique position to know the facts because the employer was involved in the circumstances surrounding the discharge at the time it occurred and also because the facts will have occurred prior to the separation from the employer's employment of the claimant. Several other bases of protest (such as available to work and actively seeking work) are all items which may transpire subsequent to the date of separation from the employment and the circumstances of them may not even be within the knowledge of the employer.
